Thats too bad.
I actually thought that if they had called it done after the first movie then I think it would have retained enough endearment to be a true Canadian gem. Now they're shooting their own legacy all to hell unless they do something/go somewhere brilliant that nobody saw coming.
Ivan Reitman did miracles with what he had to work with. I remember a couple sequences in the movie that actually looked and felt almost "gritty" (when having introspective shots of a mutilated trailer park with the sounds of kids playing, for example).
To sum it up, I think the show did a lot for showcasing what can be accomplished with one or two cameras, a mic operator, and a bunch of really great actors. The Mount Royal film program I bet has better gear than they had for the first two seasons!
